1. Golan (proper name, city of refuge) — The proper name Golan, a Levitical city of refuge in Bashan assigned to the Gershonites (Deut 4:43; Josh 20:8; 21:27; 1 Chr 6:71). All 6 occurrences refer to the same city across two textual traditions: the standard Masoretic reading (eng: Golan, spa: Golan, hin: गोलान, arb: جُولَانَ, kor: 골란, swa: Golani) and the Qere/variant reading Galon (eng: [Galon], spa: [Galon], arb: [جَلُونَ], swa: [Goloni]). Both denote the identical location in Transjordan. 6×
